Bowness and Windermere, two neighbouring towns in the Lake District National Park, offer a wide variety of activities, services, and entertainment options, as well as shopping and dining options, to make them perennially popular with tourists. Windermere Lake Cruises in Bowness offers a variety of boat tours and boat rentals, and other locations in the area include Brockhole, Ambleside, and Lakeside (at the southern end of the lake where the Lakeside Aquarium and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway are situated). It is only a mile and a half to the Old Laundry Theatre and the World of Beatrix Potter. The breath-taking vistas over the lake and adjacent fells from Orrest Head are what prompted Alfred Wainwright to write his series of classic guidebooks.  In addition to the nearby historic towns of Grasmere, Ambleside, and Troutbeck, the nearby attraction of Brockhole, which features high wire tree top experiences, is only three miles away. If you're feeling active, you can find several different watersports in marine centres all around the lake. The Langdale Mountains, Beatrix Potter's Hill Top House in Far Sawrey, Coniston, Grizedale Forest Park with its delightful walks and famous outdoor sculptures, mountain biking, and 'Go-Ape' adventure park, Ullswater, Kendal, Keswick, stone circles, Roman forts, and England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike, are all within easy reach from the area.
